No Strings Attached

"Dad, they want my child's life. They don't want me to have descendants. So, even if Clara and I separate, she and the child will still be in danger. I must find a way to hide the child." After saying this, he paced into Casey's hospital room. Michael and Marian were sitting beside, watching Casey's almost steady heart rate on the monitor.

Unable to hold back, Marian wiped away a tear. "Oh, Casey, you have to wake up. You're in this state because you saved Clara and the child. If Clara knew, she'd be so heartbroken."

The moment Marian looked up, she saw lan, pale-faced, standing at the door. Her lips trembled a few times, trying to offer comfort. "Ian, don't worry. We will find the best doctors for Casey. We won't let Clara lose her father."

Hearing these words, lan felt even more guilty. The Hayes family had caused the York family's market value to drop by a third, and they still hadn't came out of the crisis. The two elders didn't have a word of complaint. Instead, they comforted him.

He slowly approached the elderly couple and suddenly knelt down. With tears in his eyes, he said, "I'm sorry."

Michael immediately grabbed his arm. "What silly things are you saying? We're a family. There's nothing to apologize for. We need to work together in times of trouble."

He tried to pull lan up from the ground, but lan remained firmly on his knees. With tears in his eyes, he watched the two elders. "Grandma, Grandpa, I ask you to agree to one thing."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The elderly couple immediately said, "Just say it, and we will agree."

lan tried to control his emotions and organize his thoughts. Then, with a deep voice, he said, "Please let Elle raise my son Let him replace the child Elle tost. Tell everyone that my child is hers and that Clara and my child didn't survive the accident Grandma, Grandpa, the child won't be safe whether he's with me or Clara. I thought about letting Clara take the child and leave me, but that would also bring them great danger. So, I've decided to keep this a secret and not tell Clara. Please grant me this."

Then, he bowed deeply to the two elders. Tears dropped to the floor. Only heaven knew how much pain lan felt in his heart when he decided to have his child raised by someone else.

He couldn't imagine how much pain Clara would feel if she woke up to find out that the child was gone. But he truly had no better solution because this was the best way to protect Clara and the child.

Hearing his words, the first to object

was Marian Crying, she said, "I don't agree with you doing this. It's too cruel to Clara. Her father is in a coma the child is gone, and then you will divorce her. How do you expect her to go on alone?" S

lan looked up at Marian. "Grandma, I understand Gara. If the child were still here, she would never agree to leave me Only by saying the child is gone and her father is in a coma will she realize the disaster I bring upon her and she might agree to separate from me."

Michael nodded in agreement. "I agree with this plan. Clara's temperament is just like her mother's. Once she's set on something, she'd rather die than give up. If we don't give her a shock, she won't agree."
